Designing, evaluating and optimising :ref:`loudspeaker sources<sourcetypes>` in System Optimiser is straightforward, thanks to the :ref:`Source Manager Panel<sourcemanager>`.

To quickly get started adding a source, click one of the first three buttons (each showing a picture of its source type) in the :ref:`Source Manager<sourcemanager>`'s top bar:

* :ref:`Add New Horizontal Point Source Array...<HPSA-controller>`
* :ref:`Add New Standard Vertical Array...<SVA-controller>`
* :ref:`Add New Horizontal Sub Array...<HSA-controller>`
